According to research, 90% of allergies are caused by dust mites and their excrement are especially regarded as a very strong allergen. Dust mites can be said to live like a shadow in human life. A pillow that has been used for one year contains 1/10 the weight of dust mite droppings, and the beds that most people sleep on are occupied by some 2 million of dust mites.

Dust mites can be found in many places at home, but predominantly in bedding with appropriate temperature, humidity, and ample food supplies. This is most evident while lying in bed, as the mouth and nose come in contact with the bed sheet, so bedding at home should be the first priority in dust mite prevention.

According to studies, dust mites prefer to live in moist (relative humidity of 60 to 80%), warm (20 to 30°C), and gloomy environment. The optimal conditions of relative humidity 75% and temperature roughly 25°C that humans feel most comfortable in also happen to be the best survival conditions for dust mites. Take subtropical area for example: late summer/early autumn and winter are prevailing seasons of asthma caused by dust mite allergy.

1.What are the differences between biological dust mite prevention and general physical and chemical dust mite preventions?
A:Biological dust mite prevention has the fundamental feature of physical dust mite prevention being composed of a tightly woven textile material but has overcome the shortcoming of physical dust mite prevention by enhancing with a dust mite repellent odor to expel dust mites grown on the surface of physical dust mite proof covers. |
Professor E. L. Hsu of Department of Entomology, National Taiwan University found that 75% of homes are filled with dust mites. Each gram of indoor dust is hidden with an average of 2,000 dust mites (even up to 10,000 dust mites for some families). Dr. Hsu Shi Da of Mackay Memorial Hospital noted that if only there are 500~1,000 dust mites in each gram of dust, they are likely to cause clinical allergy symptoms.
